shakey2277 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Please don't think im stupid but how do I plant these banana lily's, which pic, im pretty sure its roots in the substrate but if I do that the leaves are poking out of the bootom fo the plant, the stalky looking bits, are these the bits that are supposed to look like bananas or are the missing from the plant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakey2277 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Just like you have them in the first pic that's what I suspected, the stems just threw me, wasn't sure if it was the banana looking things or stems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 One of my favourite groups of plants. Had a beautiful hoplo breeding setup once. 6x2x2 thick sand and like 100 banana lillys. Nymphoides - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny@ageofaquariums Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 No pics that I can find. I did record it on mini DV cassettes though. Use to dare people to put their hand is, so they could experience the male hoplo attack. Housemates hated the tank by the way, said it looked like a swamp. Had a few big marines at the time, so it kinda got put in perspective big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakey2277 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 WOW bananas are going awesome, only been in for about 3 days and already got a pad almost at the surface, there was nothing there last night, I have even noticed it has grown a cm or so in the last 6hrs Sent from my RM-821_apac_australia_new_zealand_218 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenswimmers Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 awesome cheap plants...these guys rock if you ask me...so many great purposes..sun cover in ponds,safe bays for fry amongst the tentacles....and even flower(at night if i remember right or its the only time i noticed mine flowering)...I reckon its awesome in a tank having a bunch of them rooted in the substrate(these guys will grow with out being planted too and shoot of to form others)with their pads shooting up all over the place...looks like an underwater forest...
